No Telling 
I want to give that to both of my girls to hang on their bathroom mirrors to look at every morning as they get ready to go out into the cold, cruel, world called middle school and high school next year. I guess this year, too since my step-daughter is in 8th grade.
Maybe I should embroider it on throw pillows and sell them. Not very Martha Stewart, really.Hey – it’s ugly out there for teenaged girls.
love it. I’m borrowing the poem-as-letter idea. I’ll show you what I do with it, k?
Send it to me the minute you finish.
I am making a copy of this for my daughter and niece.
Preparing girls to go out in the world as young women is a tricky business, Gypsy, as I'm sure you know. As grown women, we all know how to comfort with the same hand that makes a fist to protect.
